Kwankwaso is no longer financing Christian Genocide in Nigeria since Peter Obi picked him as VP.
There's a reason why the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recommended reading it every Friday. Suratul Kahf holds so many powerful lessons.

Gus Fring's greatest advantage is that he never looks like a man who needs power.
He understands that people are more comfortable around someone who appears predictable. At Los Pollos Hermanos, he is polite, disciplined, and almost painfully professional. Behind that image sits a man capable of extraordinary cruelty.
What makes the character so unsettling is the separation between those two identities. Gus doesn't need to abandon his manners to become dangerous. He uses them to make people lower their guard.
That's the brilliance of the performance. His calmness is not the absence of violence. It is how he keeps violence under control until he needs it.

The most valuable thing a powerful person can build isn't fear. It's a reputation people are reluctant to question.
When Hank confronts Gus Fring, Gus doesn't need to dominate the conversation. His carefully maintained image as a respectable businessman does some of the work for him.
That's the advantage of a strong public reputation: people don't judge your actions in isolation. They judge them through what they already believe about you.
Sometimes, the hardest person to suspect is the one everyone has already decided to trust.
The sanctuary is filled with the soft, melodic chanting of a baptismal service. Michael Corleone stands tall and solemn as the godfather, his face a mask of composure while he participates in the sacred ritual of renouncing evil. He speaks the holy vows clearly, fully embracing the role of a protector within the church.
Yet, in a chilling juxtaposition, the scene cuts away to a world of shadows. Outside the peaceful walls of the cathedral, Michael’s ruthless agenda is unfolding. His associates carry out a series of calculated, cold-blooded assassinations, striking down the heads of the Five Families to consolidate his absolute power. With every prayer whispered in the church, a life is extinguished in the streets. This sequence serves as the definitive turning point in Michael's moral evolution; he has fully ascended to the position of the new don, cementing his authority through blood while maintaining a veneer of piety. It is a haunting display of duality, where the lines between the sacred and the profane are irrevocably blurred.

Some people rely on intimidation to establish their importance. Others let their results change the way the room sees them.
In Better Call Saul, Hector arrives expecting recognition from Don Eladio. But Gus's much larger, carefully presented contribution changes the atmosphere without Gus even needing to be there.
That's the difference between demanding respect and building a position people cannot easily dismiss.
The loudest person in the room isn't necessarily the one gaining the most influence.
I can’t think of a more SATISFYING ending of a character in the Game of Thrones than this.
Ramsay Bolton genuinely believed his hounds were loyal to him, never imagining that the very creatures he used to terrorise others would eventually become his executioners.
The look on his face when he realised they were tearing into him was something else. What a way to go!
And Sansa? She didn’t just defeat Ramsay. She made him experience the helplessness he had inflicted on countless victims.
Personally, Ramsay got exactly what he deserved.
But here’s the debate: was this justice, or had Sansa become just as cruel as the monster she was punishing?

I see DJ AB’s career following a similar path to Burna Boy’s. The talent has always been there. Sometimes, all it takes is that one global breakthrough for the world to notice.
Burna Boy got his moment, and look at him today. I pray DJ AB gets that same recognition.
